On tap: The aroma consists of moderate caramel, toffee, citrus, and a touch of raisin. Itís a dark copper with a small khaki head that fades to a minimal film outlined by a thin ring. Thereís minimal lacing. The flavor starts with caramel, toffee, fruit, and a touch of raisin. The finish has light apple, citrus hops, herbal notes, and a touch of alcohol. Itís medium bodied with mild carbonation and a somewhat sticky mouthfeel.

Smells a little dull. The dark fruit and caramel characteristics are there, but very muted. Nice looking amber color with virtually no head. Taste is caramel and dark fruit first, spicy floral hops second and alcohol burn third. The burn lasts far longer than the sip. I was disappointed with this one.

Pours an almost purple brown. Nose and taste are on the sweet side, definitely more to the English end of the spectrum. I really liked that this is on 8.5% ABV and beautifully balance. It doesnít need the extra 3-5% that most in this style bring. I was very pleased with this offering. Get ha some!

Glass at Time with Remy, pours reddish brown with small head. Reminds me more of a quad or Belgian strong, notes are grape, Belgian malt, wet wood, and other dark fruits. Medium body and carbonation. Just ok.
